Photo of the Week: Dragon

In honor of Inception, a pretty terrific movie I saw yesterday, I thought I would post something dreamlike here. According to various "Dream Dictionaries", the dragon symbolizes anger, a "fiery" temperament, a ruthless person, mystical forces, the subconscious, or "the beast in you". These are Western interpretations. In Chinese tradition, dragons are considered harbingers of good luck, and symbols of culture and power in a positive sense. (Thank you Wikipedia....)

I felt lucky to capture this image at a local fair sponsored by a Catholic church. It was a kiddie ride, but that dragon would have scared the cotton candy out of me at age four or five. Click it for a scarier view.
